Almost as bad as "maximum"...

Wasn't he a BBC radio commentator?

I blame TMS anyhow. Bearders, Aggers, Johnners.

McGillers . . .

Recently heard a story that during the 1990/91 county Waqar younis broke his knuckles and for a while he was known as Mark Knucleless.

Including forum cliche's ......

"(X)'s on fire!" - well, put him/them out then

"a little bit of pressure" - so little that it's barely worth mentioning?

"(bowling with) metronomic accuracy" = what, oscillating from side to side?

"nuggety" - that small?

"tearaway fast bowler" - what's left if you do?

"gash" - who's wielding the chainsaw? who's misogynistic?

"give 110/120/150%" - oh yeah, how many bodies have you got?

"(X) shits on all the rest" - unfair play, surely?

"Oh ... HELLO!!!!" (e.g. Nicholas on a boundary or six). - Hello to you too, Leslie Phillips.

"You BEAUTY!!!!" (a good shot, or Matt Hayden's "Australia, you beauty!!!" - What, you want to go and farq it?

"It's a big ask" - and a silly say

"unAustralian" - so find an Aussie Sen McCarthy and/or KKK? It also suggests "Australian" is immaculately perfect, which is only rarely true.


Lawrence Booth is good on cricket cliche's.

yet another homophobic thread from zat...is this masking behaviour??? (i note that whenever I have given Z a gentle prod with this stick he goes absolutely ballistic)...

FCS there is nothing wrong with congress between consenting adults...who should give a rats???...personally I cannot stand MN because of his gushy behviour and complete and utter lack of sensible cricket analysis

Sorry, what was that you were trying to say, gibbermeister?

"..... in his pomp". Arrgghh. (For: when he was good/in his prime")

Some sort of Cardinal Richelieu, was he?

Tony Greigs fascination with SRT over any other play is quite obvious.


"What a Forward Defence! Sachin Tendulkar has just made the greatest forward defence I have ever seen, There is no-one today who can defend off the front foot like Sachin Tendulkar can"

"What's he going to do here? It's six oh wait no its out, oh wait its four, ITS SIX ITS SIX, Sachin Tendulkar acknowledges that six, I thought he was out but how wrong I was"

Actually, Tony Greig's fascination with being almost completely wrong at every available opportunity is remarkable. I suspect he's decided that TGW's offer of 'a job for life' is still good, and is seeing how abysmal he can be and keep getting away with it.

Tony Greig gives BSE a bad name.
